My prayers have always been with you and those gorgeous little girls and the rest of the Bell family. May God send comfort when all the spotlight is gone and no one calls to check on you and it seems you can't go on may God be your strength in the midnight hour. Know that Sean Bell will never be forgotten. I am including Sean Bell in my poetry book because he touched so many through these turn of events. Keep him near to your heart becasue Sean Bell was a beautiful human being simply because God made himand he never deserve

Ms. Bell, I am so sorry for your lost. I too lost my beloved husband and kids father to senseless violence on 07/22/06, and I know that it is tough raising your kids alone. I want you to know that you are in my prayers and to stay encouraged. GOD will keep and take care of you and your children.

Our black man should see that they are an endangered species. Those black males that do so, much wrong make it hard for those positive "Sean Bell's" in our society. We need to look within ourselves to better ourselves to show that we have POSITIVE STRONGBROTHER! Sean Bell, was one and now a family has/is continue to suffer! We need to show them that we are not lazy, go for nothing boys. We are men!

There is a subtle behinds the scene -I almost want to use the term "plot" to erase black men from the American society. If they are not in jail then they are being killed. Am I the only one that sees this? Wake up Black America! Injustices in police brutality against the black race and other racial injustices-just because we are suspect,with prison sentences that are either unjustified or too long for the crime and definately without rehabilitation and real opportunities or programs to change a misguided lifestyle-we ar

I believe that this is definitely a sad situation how someone could take another person's life and no remorse or justice has been served. I truly pray for Nicole and the children and want to let them know keep God close to your heart and that he's going to heal the pain that you are going through. Also, I will continously pray for you.
